A.A.A.D.D

AAADD- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS... PLEASE READ! 

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder. Somehow I feel better, even though I have it!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests:  

I decide to water my garden.  

As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.  

As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table, Put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
And notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back On the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think, Since I'm going to be near the mailbox When I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my cheque book off the table, And see that there is only one cheque left.

My extra cheques are in my desk in the study, So I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my cheques, But first I need to push the Coke aside So that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Coke is getting warm, And I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, A vase of flowers on the counter Catches my eye--they need water.

I put the Coke on the counter and Discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, But first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, Fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote,
But I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, So I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, But first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, But quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table, Get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to Remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:
The car isn't washed
The bills aren't paid
There is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter
The flowers don't have enough water,
There is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
And I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day, And I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem, And I'll try to get some help for it, But first I'll check my e-mail....
